On my ad-free cooking blog I only post recipes that people tell me they love – some are healthy, some are not, but they are all delicious! I record these recipes because I love to cook, and people tell me they appreciate looking at and trying out my recipes. Please write a comment if you have any thoughts about my posts so I know if I should keep experimenting with new recipes, documenting them, and paying to keep this blog advertisement-free. Thanks for the feedback! Enjoy!

Spanish Salad

This isn’t an authentic Spanish recipe; instead I was inspired by the amazing vegetables I found in the markets of Barcelona. Was it because I was on holiday, or did these veggies truly have more flavour than the ones at home? I’m not sure, but since they were bursting with flavour, they didn’t need much doctoring up with dressing. I just drizzled on a little extra-virgin olive oil and cracked some salt on top. Simple and amazing.

What you need:

a few tomatoes – I used cherry tomatoes

a few mini cucumbers

an avocado

olives with the pits in them

What you do:

1. Chop the veggies up and put them into a bowl.

2. Drizzle with the best quality olive oil you have.

3. Crack on a little salt.

I served mine with some chorizo, flatbread and a glass of red wine. Buon provecho!
